Electric Propulsion Proportional Flow Control Valve (PFCV)

101-117-1-ISOLATION-VALVES-grey-bckgrd-700x400.psd

The 51E339 Proportional Flow Control Valve (PFCV) is an all welded, normallyclosed, solenloid-type valve that can provide outlet flow control or pressure regulation in proportion to the input current, within its operating range. The PFCV can be operated directly in an open loop control mode, or automatically in a closed-loop control mode with a downstream telemetry feedback to control the input current.
